The Pinnacle Of Life

“How did you come in?”

Alex took a glance at them. Weren’t they the two old men that were playing chess at the pavilion whom he just saw? He looked at the two people and said, “Two seniors, what is this place?”

Out of the two old men, one was fat while the other was skinny. They both had white beards and white eyebrows. Certainly, those were not their physical bodies. They were just afterimages that appeared inside the place after their divine consciousness had been sucked in.

The fat one said, “If you don’t know where this is, how did you come in?”

Alex honestly replied, “I saw the two of you playing chess when I came in here. I watched it for a while but I didn’t expect my divine consciousness would be sucked here.”

The skinny one said, “You went into the Seven Star Residence?”

Alex remembered that when he walked through the bamboo forest and saw the garden-style house, the three words ‘Seven Stars Residence’ were certainly written on the plaque. He nodded. “Yes, I’m a freshman at the Flying Eagle Academy who wants to enroll in the Formation Department. A young girl at the admission counter said she wanted to put me through a test. She said that I would only be considered to have passed the test after going through the bamboo forest and entering the house.”

The skinny old man said, “ You’re talking about Gabby. She’s my granddaughter. That’s right, if you want to enter the Formation Department, you do need to go through a rest. But Old Yuron and I have worked together to set up the Seven Star Force Field at the Seven Star Residence. No ordinary man can enter it. Kid, tell me the truth. Who sent you here? Was it that old hag, Madam Drachen, who asked you to come and steal our Star Formation Board?”

“Star Formation Board?”

Alex looked above his head.

This surely was not any ordinary chessboard.
